Well i finally got some pics of the rod that i just built. Thanks so much to everyone who helped! Its a 6'6'' 2pc 2wt. It casts beautifully. I took it fishing today and didnt catch anything but had a great time, maybe tomorrow will bring some fish.

thanks everyone! Im very proud of it. I would really recomend that if you are thinking about making a rod to go ahead and do it. Its very time consuming just because the work is very tedious, but it is not hard and the end result is well worth the time.

I paid 100$ for the kit and if would have bought the rod from a manufacturer i feel i would have paid at least 300$.

Perigrines, it is the IM7 graphite blank. I did order a kit this time but next time it will definately be seperate parts. This was the first rod that i've ever done and thanks to lots of reading and lots of help from people here i feel that it turned out pretty well. In all i believe there was about 35 hours in it.

Thank you for the very kind words.

I hope there are some people thinking. That would be great! If anyone wants a rod just let me know and i'll be glad to build it for ya for hardly anything. I really couldnt believe how much fun i had doing it.

Fishin50, with school and work i have to do something to keep me sane. I usually stay up a little later than i should to get my head back on straight.
